Objectively DKTF is the best but i really wish they had gone for King K Rool as the nemesis. May just be nostalgia taking over but I just found the bosses a bit boring. For me tho the 3 DKC games are my top picks. The first one holds a special place in my heart as we were never a well off family with me being the youngest of 5 children. I bellyached for ages for DKC for christmas and i was told it was too expensive and would give me just 1 present. My parents along with my older brothers and sisters all clubbed together so i had it under the tree, along with other gifts. I remember crying and hugging them all. I was so happy that christmas. Now my parent are no longer here, every time i boot up a game with the ape in it i just think of that christmas and how lucky i was as a kid. Things we all take for granted until we get older,look back and wonder where the yime has gone. Kids and adults, never miss an opportunity to hug your parent and tell them you love them. Sorry for the life story ๐
Loved the first 10 minutes of the remake. After watching the battle between scorpion and sub zero i thought i was about to watch something special..... then i watched the rest of the movie.
Nice thing to see companies with lots of cash dip in to thier pockets to help people in dire need. I know its not as black and white but if more companies/celebrities did this it could really make a huge difference to the world.
For me the open world wasnt the issue, it was the "still" breakable weapons and the crap dungeon design. They were defenately an improvement over BOTW but pale in comparison to past dungeons.
Considering i cant stand MS and their shoddy practices it doesnt really bother me either way. As long as i dont feel shoehorned in to subscribing and its not plastered all over the Nintendo dashboard turning everything green what does it matter to me? I can choose not to pay and other can choose to and get to expierience more games. As long as im not paying a penny to MS i dont mind. I even stood firm and didnt buy the latest cod when all my work buds did. Its a drop of water in an ocean but i wont pay MS a penny anymore.
It will be an unpopular oppinion but i find MK a very stale expierience now. Imo they need to change things up by adding, as mentioned above a deep single player expierience something along the lines of Diddy kong racing. In my humble expierience the far better kart racer. Better way of collecting pickups/upgrading them no matter if you was 1st place or last, themed worlds with track representative to said themes and bosses for each world, maybe even different vehicle types too. This worked perfectly for diddy kong. Who am i kidding. Just make Diddy kong racing 2.
I remember getting this game on release day. My mum took me to the game shop on my way home from secondary school with a bunch of old games to trade in. I was about 14. No other single game has come close to the sheer awe i felt when playing OOT for the first time. Absolutely revolutionary game and back then when qol features wasnt really a thing it was a near perfect expierience. The game was pure genius from its graphics, dungeons, time traveling/ageing of Link and Z targeting system. It was a completely captivating and magical expierience. I could only wish for a remake with some real qol features, more populated towns/hyrule field etc. All the tings that was impossible back then.
I like Song of storms but only the full version that the guy is playing on the accordion inside the windmill. This version is far to short and really misses the majority of the tune out.
You can lead a horse to water but you cant make it not buy COD. Terrible single player campaign, maps already pulled from online due to spawning issues, ยฃ70 price tag when it was origionally supposed to be DLC for MWII and people still buy it.
Who voted for Daisy circuit? Hang your head in shame ๐๐ one of the most boring tracks me and my wife have played. Rainbow road, DK and the Ice one are also great but the soundtrack to Bowsers castle is banging so it gets my top spot.
@K1LLEGAL yeah man, i read this earlier this morning while i was having my morning coffee. I nearly spat it out ๐๐. I dont know what to think tho as i cheered when he met hit his end. He was a slippery weasel. It soes beg the question tho if any other returning characters will be in it before they met their ends too. Looking forward to it tho.
@LadyCharlie similar to the new COD game. Im telling my friends at work that im not getting it as its been rated the worst campaign in cod history and was origionally DLC for MWII but they decided to charge ยฃ70 for it instead.... 4 of them went and pre ordered ๐คทโโ๏ธ you can lead a horse to water but you cant stop it buying COD ๐
@K1LLEGAL yes it was an incredible series that had a beginning and an end. Not like some series that just drag on and on and on for the sake of it. Series 1 was defenately my favorite. Andy played a cracking Spartacus and i was aware of his passing before i got in to the series. Made me appreciate him even more. Batiatus has got to be one of the best characters ever. His "one liners" were priceless and i still try and add them in to conversation with friends whenever i can ๐
One of my favorite quotes comes from the character Batiatus from the amazing TV series Spartacus and sums Phil spencer up to a T. "He kisses the cheek only to finger the a*s" The guy is a snake with hidden agendas.
@jon128 thats just it. I cant even play the game without holding down Y now. Its been baked in to me ever since the SNES days. Even platformers that dont have Y as run i play the same as it just feels normal to me.
@jon128 "This also made me think that the game should have an โalways dash"
This has caused some frustration in my house hold whilst playing co op with my wife. I, instinctively always hold Y with the tip of my thumb and press B with the ball of my thumb. I always have done since forever but my wife cant do that so shes poodling about at walking pace, missing long jumps etc and its so frustrating for us both. It makes her not actually want to play the game which is the reason i got it in the first place. You can turn individual assists on Mario kart on the fly for individual people, why not platformers too.
Its about time we got more voice captures in games like this. It adds so much more personality to the game. Now we just need Mario to find his voice. No reason these games cant be fully voiced or atleast have more lines from the lead characters.
The creepy mask seller under the town clock towere always gave me the creeps. Never did complete this game, not even on 3ds.think i got to the 4th temple.
Me and my wife have actually jist started collecting Lego. Last week i purchased the Ghostbusters Ecto 1, all flower sets, bonsai tree and LOTR Rivendell set. Thankfully AC sets isnt one i would be interested in. Do some Zelda sets then im on board.
Found the first game too hard. The first few maps were ok but i found that making the wrong move usually ended up with me being battered with little room for error.
For someone thats never played a visual novel but is interested in the genre any recommendations from this list? Anything dark and gritty as opposed to cutesy. Been wanting to try famicom detective. Will it ever go on sale? ๐คทโโ๏ธ๐คทโโ๏ธ
@Yomerodes "For everyone who says he looks nothing like JCVD, I think the reason is that this design is a compromise situation in which they try a middle ground between classic Cage and classic Van Damme."
I dont buy that at all otherwise they wouldnt have attempted the voice either. Classic Cage is in the game and this is just a skin so no reason they couldnt have done voice and look alike for the skin. If classic cage players dont like the JCVD skin then just use the classic Cage skin. No one would feel alienated as the choice is there.
Weve got call of duty on switch... great. Lets just hope that in 10 years time MS havnt purchased all the main players with thier "bottomless pockets" , put healthy competition out of play (what ever colour flag you hold, competition and choice is healthy) and hold all the cards, shoe horning everyone that enjoys playing video games in to having to buy an xbox or a subscription to be able to play said games.
Ive beaten all the regional phenomena and i agree that the bosses are a major step up from the dreadful ones on BOTW. I wouldnt say any were really hard but they were all enjoyable. The dungeons are also alot better despite, for me not beaing as good as other mainline zelda titles.
